Speaking with journalists after the party’s recent state congress, Tambuwal said an ADC-led government would place top priority on national security.

He explained that sustainable development cannot be achieved without effectively tackling insecurity through a mix of strategic planning, technology-driven solutions, and community engagement.

Tambuwal also assured that the party would focus on economic reforms aimed at reducing hardship, addressing unemployment—especially among young people—and expanding opportunities through job creation, support for small and medium-scale businesses, and broader economic diversification.

According to him, “Education and agriculture will form critical pillars of the administration’s agenda, with sustained investment and reforms in education to drive long-term development. Agriculture will be positioned to enhance food security and generate employment.”

The ADC chieftain also identified power supply as a major focus area, believing that reliable electricity will be essential for industrial growth and overall economic productivity.

The overarching goal of the party, he stressed, would be to build a responsive and accountable government committed to improving the daily lives of Nigerians.

He stated that in essence, the goal is to create a government that is responsive, accountable, and focused on improving the daily lives of Nigerians.

On concerns about potential internal disputes within the ADC, particularly over the emergence of a presidential candidate, Tambuwal said such challenges were part of the democratic process in any growing political party.

He believed competition for leadership positions was inevitable but emphasised that the party remains committed to democratic principles, adding that consensus among stakeholders would be pursued where possible, while established primary election processes would be used where consensus could not be reached.

Tambuwal expressed confidence that with transparency, fairness and a shared commitment to the party’s objectives, internal competition would strengthen rather than weaken the ADC.
